For around 10 of his 12 years as pro the man has been roundly booed, insulted, verbally abused and treated like a criminal, i don’t deny being a part of that either, but enough is enough.
Big Auld won an Olympic Gold medal for our country, something no GB boxer had done in years. He tried to go it alone in the pro-ranks and simply came unstuck. He kept coming back, and if we feel fool-some for falling for his chat then only ourselves are to blame. Her is the best salesman in boxing!
But on Saturday night i genuinely feared for his health, he was knocked out in an utterly sick fashion and the time has now come to end this chapter and move onto the next.
Big Audley, on that night in Sydney you made me – and THE WHOLE NATION – completely proud of you, I’ll personally never, ever forget that night, and nor should the rest of the Brits on here. YOU WERE AMAZING.
No time for bad mouthing now. Well done mate. Your career might not have hit the heights we’d all hoped for, but it was certainly not diluted for drama!
A-force has left the building, and British boxing, indeed HW boxing in general, will be a lot less interesting because of it.
